    Okay, I had this happen to my Makita impact over two years ago. Tried EVERYTHING to get it out. Magnets, picks, glue a piece on top to pull out and much much more. Today, I have seen the light. Hallelujah! I'm gathering the needed tools and will be performing a Makitaoscopy this weekend. THANK YOU for the timely content. So glad that I subscribed.

      Well hopefully yours turned out better than mine. I couldn't get anything to budge.
      Out of curiosity, if you'd already tried picks and magnets, then what was revolutionary about this?

    Thanks mate 👍. I followed your instructions with my Makita impact driver today. It worked a treat. I still had to grip the bit with a large pliers and tap the pliers with a hammer. But now my Makita is saved. Someone else advised to disassemble on a towel to avoid the ball bearings rolling away- great tip. I would also suggest having a tea towel or something held over the tool as you dismantle it. That will help stop parts springing across the room (it happened to me). Thanks so much.

    Out of all the videos online, this one was the best. I SPENT HOURS watching videos and trying to get my bit out of my impact driver. I did everything this video said to do and it worked. The process took me ALOT LONGER but I did get the bit out and my driver is working as it should. I own a Makita (which I love) but to replace it would have cost $$$$$....thank you....PS. use a magnet tray for sure. The little parts can go flying..Be sure to do this in an area where you will be able to easily find and see tiny parts if dropped. I did end up spraying WD40 on it and letring it sit for a few hrs too. I DID THIS ABOUT 3 TIMES BEFORE i finally got it

    I have a Worx Switchdriver, and first month had this problem. Called the company, they sent me out a new one, one month goes by, and the second one gets a bit stuck in it again. Threw them both to the side and went back to my tried and true Makita.
    Today, I found you and as soon as I get a magnet, I’m going to follow your instructions. Who knows, I might have two Switchdrivers that actually work. But, I’m never buying a Worx tool again…ever. Unless, you give one a good review. Cause I trust you. Thanks.

Your tool talent is very impressive Tim, I’ve seen you do some tear downs and install a lift and now this broken bit repair, excellent quality video, ty so much, Bob,

  • @steveoneal8608
    @steveoneal8608 Před rokem +1

    You are the man!! Thank you for your part in extracting a step drill bit that broke off and was a little rusty on the end which caused it to stick inside that much harder. I was using a ryobi impact which has 3 ball bearings in it. I guess they don't want those bits coming out at all. Now off to give another guy props for putting what little bit of the bit that came out after your instructions, but needed to put the bit in a vise and tap on the impact shaft and it finally broke loose. Thanks again brother. Im subscribing tonight to your channel.

    I saved this video because in several tool and construction Facebook groups I'm in I see posts almost every day from people upset about breaking off bits in their impact. In fact I've already posted this video on Facebook in response to someone who has broken a bit. This isn't necessarily the easiest method but it is the surefire method and that's what counts. Sometimes it's faster to go the surefire method and move on versus spending an hour trying to wiggle a broken bit out.

    @geoffstrickler Před 3 lety +15

    A related tip…if you get a bit that is stuck because it twisted in the collet, there are two things to try.
    1. Try using the tool in reverse while holding the bit with pliers, vice, etc. that may get it untwisted enough to remove. If not, try option 2
    2. If you can get a solid hold on the bit using a slide hammer attachment, try using a slide hammer to remove it while holding the collet release. You might need a second pair of hands for this. This is why I now own a slide hammer, got a bit stuck in my impact and option 1 didn’t work. Option 2 got it out on the first try.
